I landed my first raley off the kicker!
I tried another landing on my fakie but I did not make it.
I nailed my first shuvit!!
The Billabong team pro riders were there that week. I collected pictures and autographs from Shawn Watson, Danny Harf, Brian Grubb, Eric Ruck, Keith Lidberg and Chad Sharpe. Shawn and Keith gave me riding tips. These guys were very friendly and totally cool!! Reuben Buchanan’s the best, he’s the person in charge of the skipark operation.
I also bought a new LF Melissa 41″ wakeskate for USD 100 off Maiya who didn’t want it anymore.
On our last night, Governor L.Ray of Naga City threw a party for the Billabong team and all of us at the skipark were invited. It was excellent.
We were told that there were some brazilian models coming to the skipark for photo shoots on the very day we left CWC.
I want to go back to CWC again. I missed that place.

Wow! Rebecca, rubbing shoulders with the cream of the cream of pro wakeskaters AND learning to do an AIR RALEY off the kicker. Awesome girl!!
In total contrast to Francois. Man, you ALWAYS come up with the most dramatic wakeboarding stories, both good and bad. Crying shame that you got injured so badly as you did on you holiday. I’m no doctor but maybe you should seek a good sports physio. Rest up and hope you get well soon.
Take it easy, Rodney
